Mitch, as I understand it ...

The commercial fishing guys are quoting a price range of 15 - 25 cents a pound, to make it feasible for them to stay in business & supply the processing plants with these carp. With some of these carp reaching 100lbs .... 2 bucks a fish ain't gonna get it.
I've also read where some commercial fishermen are having to replace their nets every 18 days of use, due to the damage caused by the carp. I'm sure those nets don't come cheap, either.
